1. Get a Taste of Antarctica, Close to Home

croppedPartake in a unique fat bike adventure that will approximate the experience of cycling in Antarctica and yet be only a couple of hours drive from Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba Province (only 450 miles from Minneapolis). Winnipeg’s international airport is easily reached thru Toronto, Minneapolis, and New York among other major hubs. Join the brave souls who intend to take our world-first trip to the South Pole by bike, and see if you have what it takes.

 

2. Fat Bikes Provided by Specialized

And female riders will get to try out their brand new women’s-specific Hellga fat bike.

 

3. Get a Generous Gift from Canada Goose5331M_311_PacificBlue
